Three more successful Bernal PAT\u2019s made the score 31-0, Panthers, at the end of the third quarter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rosemead\u2019s final score of the evening was provided by QB Martinez, who connected with Bernal for a 68-yard TD completion. The PAT attempt was no good, making the score 37-0, Rosemead, as the game came to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El Monte was never able to find their stride during the contest. Several promising drives were stalled by turnovers, penalties, and injuries to key personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the win, Rosemead (4-5, 3-1 in Mission Valley League play) assumes sole possession of second place in the Mission valley League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lions (3-5, 2-2 in the MVL) will complete their league campaign by visiting the Gabrielino Eagles, also on 10\/29\/21.
